1578 Blakney Creek North Road, Bevendale NSW 2581

For the first time in more than half a century, "Chain-O-Ponds" is for sale offering a home on 828.1 hectares (2046 acres), making it one of the largest remaining land holdings in the area.

Surrounded by farmland, the secluded property is located 30 minutes from Yass and 1 hour from Goulburn, with a school bus running past the front gate. There are 28 separate titles on the land.

With more than 200ha (500 acres) of arable land, the property has run Merinos with 15 to 16 micron wool, supporting up to 1,200 breeding ewes with lambs afoot.

Infrastructure includes a two-stand shearing shed, but its long history as a sheep property is evident with an old slab shearing shed dating back to the 1800s remaining.

The property is divided into 13 paddocks with reliable water from 15 dams, a 65ft bore and spring fed ponds, with native and improved flats, including more than 200ha of arable land where lucerne and garlic have been grown.

Being offered on a walk-out, walk-in basis, the sale also includes the farm machinery for an easy transition.
"Chain-O-Ponds" has a secluded three-bedroom clad home offering expansive views of the tree-lined property.

The cottage style home ticks all the boxes, including being kept cosy with a slow combustion heater with an oak mantlepiece in the living room. However, what makes it extra special is its links to the farm with the floorboards made from stringybark grown on the property.

A galley style kitchen has a laundry conveniently located at one end and features the option of a modern electric oven, but also a traditional English AGA stove, which the vendors say makes the "best roast you could ever taste".

A low-maintenance garden and being offered as a furnished property, makes it an ideal rural holding or home for those wanting a simple entry to a rural lifestyle with satellite internet for remote work.

Surrounded by farms, the property is quiet and private, but the local community is known for being close-knit and helping each other out.

The owners say it's perfect for kids who get to enjoy the largest backyard possible, allowing plenty of space for them to run around and tire themselves out.

"Chain-O-Ponds" is a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure large property in New South Wales' Southern Tablelands country.

After 53 years, illness means "Chain-O-Ponds" must be sold.
